Exclusive Event Release
This coin was created exclusively for the ANDA Money Expo in Hobart, making it a true show special. Coins released for numismatic events of this calibre are highly sought after and typically sell out rapidly due to their restricted availability and collector demand.
It is presented in a themed black striped display card featuring the official event branding and dates, along with the Australasian Numismatic Dealer’s Association logo.
Historic Australian Nugget Design
The reverse design revives an archived concept originally created by Devlin for the Australian Gold Coin Program, featuring the legendary Welcome Stranger nugget, the largest gold nugget ever recorded.
Discovered in 1869 in Moliagul, Victoria, the enormous nugget weighed approximately 2,284 ounces and remains one of the most famous gold finds in history.
The detailed reverse design includes:
The Welcome Stranger nugget at the centre
A map outline of Australia
Radiating sunburst detailing
The inscription THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET
“P40” mintmark celebrating the 40th anniversary
Year-date 2026 and full coin specifications
The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, confirming its status as official Australian legal tender.
